The iTunes app store has dozens of Craigslist search utilities offering more functionality than Craigslist which seems to not understand that we now live in a global marketplace. I use Craiglook almost daily. Necessity is the mother of invention and you accomplished something most never will. You identified a problem, determined how to fix it or improve it and actually implemented it. The fact that they consider you a threat is actually a compliment. If you need money to make a new app happen, just ask. Just put a donation link up and let us Craiglook junkies help fund it. Keep record of the contributors and send them a copy of your app when you get it done or something. Include notifications so when somebody lists an item matching your search words or phrases that you receive an alert. I created a macro to do this so I'm often the first to call when an item I want is listed and have made some great buys. This isn't the beginning of the end, just the end of the beginning. I've had a company online for 15 years now and have dealt with it all, but if there is a will there is a way. Create a plan, rally your supporters and make it happen. Put me on your list, I'm ready when you are.

Last week I reported an obvious scammer selling the same car over and over. I contacted Craigslist and supplied them with the persons ads, emails being used, even the facebook page of the scammer, the image hosting company and the "free" email address company that kept on supplying new email addresses for this person to run their scams. Using CraigsLOOK I was able to find 10 ads run by this person all for the same car plus this person had other cars for sale too! I did everything but hand this person right over to them. Did they investigate? I highly doubt it as they did not even pull one of their ads! All it took was a simple search and they could see that it was very obvious what this person was doing!

Well now I know why! They were too busy with far more important things like shutting down one of the best things to come along since the internet! Glad to see the folks behind Craigslist got their priorities in the right place! No wonder they got murderers using CL to lure their next victims, maybe CL can start a new kiddie porn category to help the degenerates find their next victim because we all know now they have no interest in helping users find legitimate items they are searching for! Why not just start charging exuberant prices for everything then Craigslist will be just as useful as EBay!!
